Liu Mei is eighteen years old this year. Although she cannot be said to be a queen of the country, she still has delicate features and is as delicate as a jade from a small family. This kind of woman is most likely to arouse the pity of men.
Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Liu Mei stood up slowly, blushed and came over to salute: "The daughter of the people saw the Marquis, just now, the daughter of the people was not careful just now..."
Before he finished speaking, his face was already red.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she covered her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Brother, this is my maternal cousin. It seems that you are really destined. You were saved by your eldest brother when we first met..."
"Mrs. Li!"
Luo Deyun interrupted sharply and said: "If you don't see it, don't talk nonsense!"
Mrs. Liu didn't take it seriously and continued: "Why are you talking nonsense? Brother obviously did something good. If brother hadn't helped my cousin just now, my cousin would have been seriously injured."
Luo Deyun sneered, looked at the people in the yard, and asked, "Which of you saw me helping her just now?"
The maids and women in the yard shook their heads and said they didn't see it.
Mrs. Liu's smile froze, as if she still didn't believe it, and looked at Liu Mei and Aunt Du.
The former had already blushed and lowered his head. The latter shook his head slightly. Mrs. Liu instantly understood what was going on. She cursed in her heart that it was useless. Then she turned around and said with a smile, "Oh, look at my eyes. Maybe I think Ran'er is my cousin. I also said..."
"Mrs. Li!"
Luo Deyun interrupted again: "The capital is not as good as Yanqing, and under the emperor's feet, if you can't control your mouth, sooner or later you will bring trouble to the Li family."
After saying that, he comforted Luo Ran and left in stride.
The reason why Luo Deyun said this was because he was still angry with his second wife, so much so that even the Li family looked down upon him.
Ms. Liu was reprimanded on the spot, her face was a little confused, and she took out her anger on Liu Mei: "Trash! You can't even serve tea, so what else can you do!"
After saying that, he seemed to have just realized that Luo Ran was still standing beside him, and smiled at Luo Ran: "Ran'er..."
As soon as he started talking, Luo Ran turned around and entered the room.
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she didn't even scold or scold her. She just pinched Liu Mei's arm hard to vent her anger: "Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for someone to invite you in?"
He turned around and entered the house.
Aunt Du looked at Liu Mei, whose eyes were red, and comforted in a low voice: "Cousin, please don't be sad. Madam is doing this for your own good."
Then he said deliberately: "Our Lord Marquis has this kind of temperament, one is just one, and there is no sand in his eyes. That's why there are no messy people around him for so many years. Such people look a bit scary, but you can only understand this when you live your life. the benefits of."
Liu Mei still lowered her head and whispered: "Master Hou is not scary."
The voice was too low, and Grandma Du didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Liu Mei twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said again with a red face: "Master Hou, he, he is very good."
"Hey! That's right!"
Grandma Du immediately burst into laughter: "You are smart. Okay, come in quickly."
Inside the house, Luo Ran said goodbye and sat quietly aside.
After Liu Mei came in, Mrs. Li rolled her eyes. She could clearly hear the movement outside just now. She smiled and said to Luo Ran, "You don't know Ran'er yet? This is your aunt's cousin. You She should be called cousin."
Luo Ran didn't move after hearing Li's words.
Liu Mei nodded to Luo Ran first and called out: "Ran'er."
"Um."
Luo Ran responded lightly: "Miss Liu, please sit down."
It was Miss Liu who was called, not the cousin aunt Li mentioned. Liu Mei blushed and became even more embarrassed.
Luo Ruxue was about to speak, but her mother stopped her with her eyes and looked at her grandmother.
The old lady lowered her eyes, seemingly not hearing what was said below, and was still chatting with Mr. Tian next to her.
These days, Luo Ran also roughly figured out his grandmother's temperament. Although his heart is a little biased, it is not hopeless. At least he doesn't want to be separated from his father, and he doesn't want the Luo family to fall.
In the old lady's view, Tian was her widowed sister-in-law, and Li Yuanliang was his nephew. It was right for her to take care of her natal family within her ability. But that doesn't mean she can tolerate anyone trampling on the Luo family.
Although Luo Ran was not liked by her, she was also the eldest daughter of the marquis's family. Her father was the champion marquis and her grandfather was the chief assistant. With this status, she still had some confidence even when standing in front of the princess.
How could a little orphaned girl have the dignity to let Luo Ran salute her and call her cousin aunt?
Mrs. Tian also realized that this sister-in-law was trying to show off her authority in front of her. But she didn't want to care about it. Since arriving in Beijing, Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law hasn't gone to greet her for several days. She went to Ningfuyuan to teach her a lesson.
Everyone has their own thoughts, so no one cares about Liu Mei's mood.
Liu Mei had to quietly walk to the end and sit down, next to Luo Hongxian, who was only three years old. My aunt is about to give birth, my sister is accompanying my aunt, and my aunt has to take care of her. My brother is going to school again. Today he came with his grandma to pay his respects to his grandmother.
He was having a good time sitting here by himself, but suddenly an aunt came over and always looked at him and smiled.
He, who had always been timid, suddenly climbed off the chair, ran to Luo Ran, grabbed her clothes and asked in a low voice:
"Sister, Xian'er wants to sit with you."
It wasn't that he knew Luo Ran well, but the fact was that the third bedroom had no other children besides him, and the second sister was fierce, so he was afraid. The third sister ignored her every time, and he didn't recognize the remaining cousins.
She didn't know if it was because she was pregnant, or because she always thought about having a younger brother or sister. She didn't like children at first, but now she has some patience when she looks at the soft children.
She touched Luo Hongxian's head and said with a smile, "Then ask grandma to move the chair for you."
When Luo Hongxian heard this, he clapped his fleshy little hands happily: "Big sister is so kind."
Luo Ran smiled. The third aunt was a bit aggressive, but she treated the only bastard in the third house fairly well. This could be seen from Luo Hongxian's chubby little face and clean clothes.
"Big sister actually likes children."
Luo Rudie said, who had remained silent.
Luo Ran didn't look at her, but he said to her: "Grandma always teaches us brothers and sisters to love each other. Doesn't the third sister like the fourth brother?"
She picked up a piece of cake next to her and fed it to Luo Hongxian, reminding her softly: "Fourth brother, eat slowly."
Luo Hongxian held the pastry in his little hands, nodded seriously, and said with a sweet voice: "Xian'er also likes big sister."
Luo Ran smiled: "You're so good."
Both of them ignored Luo Rudie.
Li Xinyue on the side finally couldn't hold it any longer and came over, touched Luo Hongxian's head affectionately, and asked, "Cousin is back from the Shen family?"
